Through trials and tribulations, laughter, and tears, this unlikely couple strives to bridge the gap between their worlds and find a harmonious balance.

As the pages turn, the tale of this arranged marriage transforms into a narrative of transformation, breaking stereotypes, and proving that love can indeed bloom in the most unexpected places. Will the workaholic CEO learn to appreciate the beauty of spontaneity, and will the carefree college student find satisfaction in structure?

***The Gender Bending Has Nothing To Do With The Protagonist***... more>>

Samuel Roland Raith is a White Court Vampire living his life on the run but is otherwise completely normal. He likes to watch movies, read books, play video games, and feast on the emotion of lust from those around him. His entire race has been wiped out and hunted down by a group of megalomaniacs from the Red Court of Vampires called the Volturi. So, as far as he is aware, he is the last of his kind. He spends his time roaming the world, going through high school and college, again and again, to feed and avoid ever making meaningful connections.

White Court Vampires are unique and very different from their more popular Red Court brethren. Free from bloodlust and able to walk in the sunlight, they live their lives almost as if they were completely human. Their only true weakness is the opposite emotion they feed on, in Samuel's case, love. If he ever were to find love—true love especially—he would be in for a world of hurt. It's a good thing true love is so hard to find!

His newest adventure is at a high school in Forks Washington, and he fully expects it to go just as the last 40 years on the run has. Feed off the lust of teenagers, live quietly, and move on after college. No worries, right?

A/N: This is a gender-bent Alternate Universe version of the Twilight books & movies with a mix of the White Court Vampires, themes, and organizations based loosely on The Dresden Files books. Not all characters will be gender-swapped, but many will be.

The romance will be MC and Alice - If you are looking for that ahead of time.

At the tender age of 11, a young boy without a name committed many gruesome acts. Murder, theft, arson, and the list continued to grow. He was born into this world pure and innocent and corrupted by the very monsters who birthed him, thus they turned him into one as well.... more>>

His abilities were unnatural; he was a monster in human form, a superhuman. At 11 years old, he could flip a grown man with ease. The only thing that was normal about him was his enjoyment of stories. He enjoyed watching and reading whatever he could get his hands on.

He didn't understand emotions, but he always felt something when he finished the jobs assigned to him. When he snuffed the life of a woman and her children, or when he burned the cars of men and women while they were still inside, or even when his own mother strangled him to death with a wire; the young boy felt a sensation in his gut that would never fully surface—a feeling that he desired to understand.

Then, following the death at his own mother's hands, he woke up in another world. More specifically, he was in the body of a baby. As he struggled to see what was around him, he heard a voice that was impossible not to recognize—"I AM HERE!" He heard the voice proudly proclaim.

Given a second chance at life for a reason he did not understand, will this young boy—now turned young girl—finally be able to experience a life worth living? Or will the ghosts of his past come to haunt him?

~ Abracadabra ~

Aloha, and welcome to The Garden.
My name is Bagheera and I’m the narrator.

These stories are all “fictional”,
so there’s no need to go around
insisting that the people, places and events
described here are “real”
like the mythical Russian mystic ~ Anastasia;
even if you feel particularly moved by them.

Regardless of their purely coincidental
similarity to any real person or situation,
these stories have an explicit purpose,
which does not hinge upon whether or not
they can be verified by historical record.

The purpose of these stories is to illustrate
ways of living and being that differ greatly
from those to which humanity
~ in the so-called “developed”
and allegedly “civilized” world ~
has grown accustomed.

The heroes in these tales are simply
Men and Women who have discovered
~ and moved into alignment with ~
The Laws of Nature.

Through communion with this Cosmic Law,
and devoted Service to All Life,
they have brought peace
to their lives and to their world.

My intent in sharing these stories
is that they may inspire you
as they have inspired me:

“To Learn and Grow Stronger,
All Ways and Eternally.”

~ Blessings. ~ <<less

I woke up in a dark and silent place, feeling confused and scared. I couldn’t see anything or move much, and my head was throbbing... more>> with pain.
I tried to remember what had happened, but it was hard to focus.
I had been walking to school, like any other day, when a black SUV with tinted windows stopped next to me. Before I could react, masked men jumped out and grabbed me.
They fought me off and threw me in the back seat. Then everything went black. Was this a kidnapping? Why me? I had no enemies or secrets.
I was just an ordinary teenager, trying to live a normal life. What did they want from me? As I was thinking, a voice broke the silence.
It was cold and cruel, and it made me shiver. “Ohhh, it looks like our Prince Charming is finally awake. Took you long enough!” he said, mocking me.
I felt angry and defiant, and I shouted back. “Who are you? Where am I? Where are you taking me?” I asked, hoping for some answers.
But all I got was a chilling reply. “You don’t need to know. Welcome to hell.” His words sent a wave of fear through me, and I realized that this was only the beginning of a nightmare.

Her peaceful life doesn’t stay peaceful for long. If she wanted that, being born as a rare elemental harpy dealt her a tough hand. So much for growing up simply among friends and family.

Regular releases will be Monday nights, GMT -5.

A take on the hero's journey
B plot Romance and clearly marked skippable smut chapters
Themes of identity and self told through trans and cis lenses alike
A story ending with around 100k words <<less

In 2048, the United States was moving toward a second frontier era, a second Manifest Destiny across the solar system. Then, one day, thanks to a strange alien signal, they discovered a hidden facility on Mars. The signal was transmitted through a device considered an ancient decoration but turned out to be a portal to another world.... more>>

With a series of events, the United States sent one of its most elite teams to this world to investigate, Combat Fire Team-1, also known as Comanche, and discover why the people of Alagore opened a Bridge to their world.

Comanche must explore the connections of this new world and the wonders discovered on Mars, confront the darkness known as the Unity in its global conquest, and above all, protect the US and the rest of Earth from this new threat.

James Brooks is an average high schooler in New Atlantis, a city teeming with superhumans. Despite his dad being an ex-hero and his sister Ren a genius scientist, James often feels overlooked, seeking refuge as a top battle mage in "Endless Fantasy II," an online game.... more>>

His life takes an unexpected turn when he walks away unharmed from a superhuman fight. James discovers he can morph into his game character, but with a catch: his avatar is a female demoness.

The setting is an alternate 2013 shaped by a Cold War experiment gone wrong, granting a fraction of people superpowers. However, this story isn't about superheroes; it's a blend of Mystical and Urban Fantasy, focusing on magical and mysterious elements that stay hidden from most of the world.

Anyways, as I'm not a native English speaker and this will be an experiment on my part, I will rely on AI as an editor & proofreader. If this doesn't bother you, then feel free to stay. Also, keep in mind this is my first attempt at writing something, so the way I write might change as I experiment with different styles.
